I´m getting the following error from Play Console and I can´t edit the version or the Google play info [duplicate]

Question

You will not be able to edit this application until you create a different version in which you declare sensitive permissions

Recently when I trying to update an application I got this error, but either let me upload anything to remedy it, or change the Play store info. I've been searching everywhere and I even contacted Google but they have not answered me yet.

The app is called Enviaje and manage travelers.

The following messages are show when I try to edit the version

Sorry if it is in spanish, I`m from Mexico,

And these are the permissions in my Manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />

I think that the error is caused by the SMS permissions that I had before but that I had to eliminate them by the new Google Play policies

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS"/>

I tried to contact Google´s supporst but I they haven´t answered yet.

Answer 1

I solved it, what you must do first is to create a new version but instead of uploading a new apk or app bundle, you must load one of the library that has SMS or call permissions.

Then below you will see the form of declaration of services, you fill it according to your situation, and you go to review the version. How is a previous version will not allow you to launch.

You will notice that the warning has disappeared and now you can upload a new version, I recommend that you no longer have the SMS permissions and have made the relevant changes. You have until March 9 to remove them if it is not so Google Play can delete your Play Store application just like that.
